12. Configuring UEFI for iSCSI

Note: For systems with multiple adapters, the UEFI system firmware or boot code

uses the highest version driver installed on any of the adapters. Adapters with

older versions of EFIBoot are managed by the more recent version, but only as

long as the adapter with the most recent version is in the system. The latest

firmware and boot code must be installed on each adapter in the system to

ensure that each adapter runs the latest firmware and boot code.

Overview

UEFIBoot supports:

EFI protocols – Configuration and component name are supported.

Operating systems – Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows

Server 2012 R2, RHEL 6.x and newer, and SLES 11 SP2 and newer

Multi-Device path – SCSI device path is selectable through the driver

configuration protocol.

Multi-initiators – Up to 96 adapters in a system.

Multi-target – 256 targets are selectable through the driver configuration

protocol.

Multi-LUNs – Up to 256 LUNs are supported.

This version of UEFIboot is loaded from flash into system memory.
When UEFIBoot is loaded in an EFI Shell, type “

drivers

” and press <Enter> to see if

the driver is loaded.

Note: If you are using Dell adapters, refer to appendix F., “Dell UEFI,” on page 1762

for information on using the Dell UEFI utility.
